    👍Worth reading

    🎯Worthwhile
    🚀Unputdownable

    Picked this up since people categorize it as horror but I didn't find it terrifying. It is riveting though. The writing is so fluid and vivid when it comes to describing the protagonist's mind that even though he's an unsympathetic character he's still interesting to follow. The fact that Dan Wells managed to create an unsympathetic protagonist with a sympathetic motivation is worth a praise as well.

    “I have to read the introductions of most of my textbooks over the weekend, which of course everybody always does, and I have to write an essay for my history class.”

    I wanted to say something about how everyone who heard about Jeb would go straight to their auto mechanic, but Margaret never appreciated jokes like that.
